From Misalignment to Manifestation: The Soulful Path to Getting What You Actually Want
By Katie Joy, The Global Butterfly
There’s a strange kind of frustration that comes when you’re “doing all the right things” — setting goals, taking action, staying busy — and yet somehow still feeling stuck, drained, or disappointed.
Maybe you’ve felt it too:
-
You hustle hard... but the success feels hollow.
-
You visualise and affirm... but the manifestation seems slow.
-
You tick the boxes... but your soul still whispers, "This isn’t it."
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why isn’t this working?”,
you’re in exactly the right place.
The truth is, it’s not about working harder.
It’s about aligning deeper.
From misalignment to manifestation — that’s the real journey.
And today, I’m walking you through exactly how to get back on your soul’s true path… so you can manifest the life (and feelings) you actually desire.
What Misalignment Really Feels Like
First, let’s talk about misalignment — because it’s not always obvious.
Most people assume misalignment looks like laziness or lack of effort.
But that’s rarely the case — especially for heart-led, purpose-driven women like you.
More often, misalignment feels like:
-
Hustling without joy
-
Taking action but doubting yourself constantly
-
Setting goals that secretly drain you
-
Feeling heavy, stuck, frustrated, or anxious
-
Achieving outcomes… but not feeling fulfilled
-
Or stalling and procrastinating because something inside knows this isn’t your dream
It’s not about your effort.
It’s about your energy.
Misalignment is when your mind is chasing something your soul isn’t excited about.
And no amount of hustle can override the truth of your energy.
How I Learned This The Hard Way
You might already know parts of my story — but when I think about misalignment, I remember a specific chapter in my life like it was yesterday.
It was after my marriage ended, when I was newly pregnant and building my first coaching business.
I set a $250K income goal — not because it truly lit me up, but because I thought it would finally prove that I was safe, worthy, and “back on track.”
I worked hard. I hustled. I ticked every box I thought I was supposed to.
And yet...
I wasn’t thriving.
I was surviving.
I realised that no amount of external achievement could fill the gap inside me that was asking for something deeper: alignment. Joy. Soul fulfilment.
That moment changed everything.
It led to the birth of Soul Goal Mapping™ — and the discovery that when you align your energy first, manifestation becomes not just easier… it becomes inevitable.
The Real Path: From Misalignment to Manifestation
Here’s what most goal-setting systems miss (and what heart-led women like you are craving to understand):
You don’t manifest by force.
You manifest by frequency.
It’s not about pushing harder toward a goal.
It’s about becoming the version of you who naturally creates that goal — through energy, identity, belief, and inspired micro-action.
Here’s the true, soulful path to manifesting what you actually want:
1. Pause and Realign
If you’re feeling heavy, frustrated, stuck, or spinning in circles — pause.
You don’t need to push through.
You need to realign.
Ask yourself:
-
Is this goal still true for me?
-
Does this outcome feel light and exciting, or heavy and draining?
-
Am I chasing validation, or am I following inspiration?
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit that a goal you set months (or even years) ago no longer fits who you’re becoming.
Permission granted to pivot.
2. Visualise From Soul, Not Ego
Inside Soul Goal Mapping™, we don’t just visualise outcomes — we visualise the soul-led version of you living it, loving it, and growing through it.
This means seeing:
-
The feeling of expansion, not just the material result
-
The process of enjoying the journey, not just chasing the finish line
-
The identity shift — you becoming the woman who naturally holds and sustains what you desire
This is why my clients don’t just hit goals — they transform into their highest selves while doing it.
Like one of my Soul Goal Mapping™ Challenge participants who messaged me saying:
"Katie, for the first time ever, I’m not afraid of my dreams.
I trust myself to hold them."
That’s the power of visualising from soul, not ego.
3. Activate Micro-Aligned Action
Once you’re aligned, action becomes magnetic.
But it’s not about massive leaps or forcing momentum.
It’s about tiny, soul-aligned steps — taken consistently.
Every time you take an action that aligns with your true energy, you build evidence:
-
I am capable.
-
I am trusted by my own soul.
-
I am moving in the right direction.
One small step leads to the next.
Momentum compounds.
Manifestation accelerates.
As I often say to my clients:
"Small steps. Soul aligned. Supernatural results."
4. Celebrate Before It Happens
Celebration is a frequency amplifier.
When you celebrate now — before the physical evidence shows up — you signal to the universe that you are already in the vibration of having it.
This is why inside the Soul Goal Mapping™ Challenge, we include daily celebration practices.
(And why I include actual prizes for participating — because joy deserves to be anchored and embodied!)
You don’t wait for the final goal to feel successful.
You become success — and the outcomes chase you.
Final Thoughts: Your Soul Knows the Way
If you take just one thing from this today, let it be this:
Your soul already knows how to get you where you’re meant to go.
You don’t need to force it.
You don’t need to prove it.
You just need to align, trust, and move with it.
That’s the real secret to moving from misalignment to manifestation.
And that’s exactly what we do — together — inside the next Soul Goal Mapping™ Challenge.
